I prefer to discuss any views as long as they are supported by arguments and evidence, I do ban for insults and hate speech.

That's precisely what Ukrainian army is doing. They're holding some positions for weeks almost exclusively with tracked robots with cannons, which only return at night to recharge and reload ammo. Russians don't care so they just send human waves.

Today Russia's KIA confirmed by name is 170'000 https://t.me/pechalbeda200

Four weeks ago BBC+MediaZona published another verified tally of #Russia killed in action (KIA) since 2022. Their record is verified based on published obituaries and various databases (like public inheritance register) but also very clearly accounts only for Russian citizens.

Their verified number of KIA was 150’000 back then.

Most notably it doesn’t account for mobilized as “citizens of DNR/LNR”, large numbers of whom were killed especially in the first two years of the war.

The data is roughly consistent with other databases such as “Goryushko” channel which as of now counted 160’000 KIA confirmed by name https://t.me/pechalbeda200

None of the verified databases account for soldiers who are missing in action (MIA) or heavily wounded. Therefore estimates of the total irreversible Russian losses are in the range of 400’000-500’000 people.

Russian woman raped, husband killed in Pokrovsk by their "liberators"

Remember these "Putin cured global Covid in 48 hours" memes? Due to another wave of #COVID19 the authorities of #Russia Sankt Petersburg extended ban on any public gatherings until... 2026.

He may not give a shit but his country signed binding security assurances to Ukraine and NATO. These can't be erased by a single "I don't care" guy decision, there's a process to exit from international obligations, which has mutual consequences.

Make no mistake: this is NOT censorship because... it's not 😆 ☝️

The Moscow Times: Since the beginning of the year, the number of payment defaults in tenders announced by state-owned companies (!) has almost tripled in #Russia. While in 2024 there were 1.5 billion roubles worth of enforcement requests, this year the figure has already reached 4.03 billion. It is mainly state-owned companies that are in arrears with payments to subcontractors, causing a whole cascade of arrears further down the line."

Is there anyone who still believes this utter bullshit? Unemployment is "record low" because he sent 1.5m people to die in a foreign country, so they now have to pull people from India to fulfill basic civilian jobs, inflation is two digits, base rate is killing all civilian business.

I had first read about lame #PDF redaction with a black square so that the text underneath could still be copied somewhere around 2000. Several such blunders were revealed at the time by the iconic website cryptome.org

Now I see that a new generation of officials has grown up in the US who have not inherited this knowledge from their older colleagues 😆

RF absorption in human body is not linear in terms of both frequency nor location inside body, which is the whole point of making very complex SAR models for specific case studies.
